JUst because a skateboard and a car both have 4 wheels doesn't mean its the same product. Just because Surface LOOKS like an Ipad doesn't mean its the same kind of product. Surface is a COMPUTER. A Windows computer. People Buy Ipads and Amazon Fires to get AWAY from computers. I can see why Microsoft would LIKE to compete in the Ipad market.......but its stupid to do so. They LOOK alike......beyond that they are in completely different categories. Its actually a stupid comparison. They serve completely different purposes. The reasons for buying each is all different. People who buy tablets don't WANT to Maintain a computer. They don't WANT to deal with the malware etc computers have. People who want to SKATE buy Skateboards. People who want to DRIVE Buy a car.
